Topic: [MOD] zCatch
Hi,
do you know "Zombieball"? I know this game from physical education and thought "why not creating a teeworlds mod with the rules of it". I didn't find and english word for "Zombieball", so it was difficult to find a name for the mod. But because it's kind of catching, i called it simply zCatch. There's nothing copied from tCatch or Catch16!
Whats the goal?
You have to catch all other players and remain as the only player on the map. If you catch (kill) someone, he will join the spectators. But if YOU get catched, all players catched by you will rejoin the game. So winning is only possible if you manage it to kill everyone without beeing killed.
I've got the idea for the mod today, so I worked only a few hours on it, it would be nice if you report bugs here and post your suggestions 
A server with the mod is online called "Upcoming mod: zCatch!" and you can download patch and linux binary. Windows binary will maybe posted later. Usually it runs the development version, so it could differ a bit from the versions you can download here.
